The number of divorces in our society is growing constantly. Children who have had to experience their parents divorce generally feel that situation as extremely frustrating. They loose the safety of the harbor of home, the security of contact with the parents to whom they could always turn in the hour of need. They are usually afraid of what the future might bring, they are uncertain as of having a place they would belong; they possess worries to start their own families with their own partners, to be good parents to their offspring. The primary target of this paper was to realize the current issues of divorce, problems that most of all affect the mentality of the child whose parents are either going, or have gone through the act of matrimony termination. The research was concluded in the form of questionnaire and secondary data analysis. The secondary data analysis research shows that the children who were involved in divorce during the period of the research have demonstrated negative impact on their mentality. The questionnaire method, which was responded by students whose parents had been divorced for a longer period of time, shows certain facts that affect the child{\crq}s situation after the divorce. Primarily, those facts include the parent with whom the child is left to live, as well as whether and how the child is in contact with the other parent. Further problems were the children{\crq}s relationships with their fostering parent{\crq}s new partner and the new economical situation. It is my opinion that it would be most appropriate to create contact groups all over the country, groups where the affected children could have an opportunity to socialize with peers who had experienced a similar situation in their respective families. On the other hand, I do recommend analyzing the divorce from a parent{\crq}s perspective. The thesis can be used as a source of information for parents facing a divorce. The information contained herein might be useful for welfare officers, guardians, and other persons who represent the child and who are often unaware of the mental condition of the child, or of the situations that affect them. Nonetheless, the paper might be used as course material.

Résumé The subject of this thesis is influence of parents' divorce on young adults. The thesis aims at family rituals and their changes after parents' divorce.

The second one describes family, divorce and influence of divorce on the children. The research analyses forms of rituals in families before divorce and their changes during divorce and after divorce. The thesis also focuses on the participants' attitude to family rituals and changes of that in dependence of divorce and participants' attitude to one of the most important rituals of passage - the wedding. The purpose of this thesis is to answer the question, if parents' divorce has some influence on family rituals and the participants' attitude of them and which the view of the participants to the wedding and marriage is. The research demonstrates that parents' divorce has the influence on family rituals and attitude of the participants to family rituals.

Prior research has indicated that family experiences, including parental divorce, interparental conflict, and the parent-child relationship, play an important role in adult childrens romantic relationships (e.g., Wallerstein & Lewis, 1998; Mahl, 2001; Harvey & Fine, 2004). Research on how these variables may work in combination and on how these family experiences affect romantic relationships during the developmental period of emerging adulthood is lacking. The current study investigated the impact that family divorce has on features of emerging adults romantic relationships. It also examined whether these relationships are mediated by parent-child relationship, are moderated by interparental conflict, and vary with gender and age at the time of divorce.<p>A total of 310 students between the ages of 18-25 from University of Saskatchewan participated in this study. Contrary to the hypothesis, the findings showed that in their romantic relationships emerging adults from divorced families, compared to emerging adults from intact families, had a higher degree of three romantic features: care, commitment, and maintenance. Partly in line with the hypothesis, only retrospective interparental conflict moderated the link between family structure and romantic conflict. Finally, differences, regardless of family structure, were found between males and females, where females indicated having higher levels of intimacy and males indicated having higher levels of coercion in their romantic relationships. Possible explanations for the findings and implications for future research are discussed.

This diploma thesis deals with the character and form of today's family, which is based on traditional marriage. It draws its foundations from theological interpretations of biblical passages that address this topic. These passages primarily present the family as God's will for people and His behavior as the model for marital ethics. The next section introduces the preferences and attitudes of people from the Czech Republic based on public opinion polls towards marriage, family, and other forms of social coexistence. Afterward, these public opinions are compared with the reality, as presented by the Czech statistical office, which monitors divorces and marriages in the region. The last chapters then focus on the negative effects of divorce and the factors which lead to the disruption of marital integrity. They also address the moral values that strengthen marital roles, relational permanency and "a healthy family".
